Having been without any for such a long time, the Republican senators will need a supply of these in extra-extra-large.
Stop the debate, go nuclear, and approve him or her. if they’re qualified, of course. Put an end to that nonsense.
Once things are settled down in a year or so, pass a LAW that requires a specific majority for certain positions, but not until the important appointments and nominees are approved.
We the People are so sick of having to deal with these obstructionist traitors. We’d go there with pitchforks but we also know that seems to be what they want ~ confrontation. What to do...........
No problem, break out the nuclear option. And McStain and Linda Graham HAD BETTER fall in line!
Another point worth making is that there’s no law that says the Supreme Court must have 9 members. Trump can appoint 3 people and have an 11-member court if he wants. Yes there’ll be backlash about “stacking the court”, but it is legal.
Fauxcahontas is totally retarded. Mondale changed the 2/3s to 60% decades ago.
Who would make EVER her a perfesser?
Fools....It won’t happen. two cases have already burned Obama with just 8 judges. 9 judges changes the odds.
Wow. I’m shocked!
Said no one ever.
Wasn’t there an ELECTION...didn’t the people express their choices. Then why can’t Washington D.C. move forward with the choices that the people had made at ballot boxes. Why stall? Why obstruct..
There’s an unwritten rule....no judge appointments in the last year...and that’s an old dem rule...
DJT told us to Think Big!
Increasing the size of the SC is an idea I have been waiting to email the WH about. Maybe NOW is the time to do it.
11? How about we DOUBLE the size. Strike while the iron’s hot!
Garland—together with Sotomayor, Kagan, Ginsburg, and Breyer—would have been a DISASTER!!!!
The Dims must not be allowed to block or delay our President’s appointment of a new Supreme Court Justice in the tradition of Antonin Scalia!!!!
Ann Coulter should be the nominee. Make the Dems’s heads explode before they even start to filibuster.
The Democrat Thug Party
No skeletons but I heard he put on some weight while in the Hanoi Hilton, the only POW to do so.
You didn’t answer the question.
Go nuclear and appoint Janice Rogers Brown. There will be some entertainment value in seeing the Dem’s try to lynch a highly qualified black woman only to have her jammed down their throats on a party line vote. Then the Republicans can claim credit for the first black woman on the Court.
I have a different theory...I am not in favor of the nuclear option, because it will inevitably bite you the next time the Dems hold the Presidency.
So I think they should allow the filibuster, but the old fashioned way...make ‘em talk 24/7. Bring Washington legislation to a halt. Make it *the* 2018 campaign issue, with 25 Democrat Senator seats up for grabs. If they somehow wrangle a recess, fill it with a recess appointment. If, after the 2018 election, 60 Senators are still not reached for the Republicans, then consider going nuclear.
